Fall Totes Food Drive

Sunday, September 24, 2017 - Friday, September 29, 2017

Join us in impacting the lives of students at Shepherd Community Center. 80% of students in our neighborhood depend on school for healthy meals every day. When school is out, these students do not have reliable access to healthy meals. The tote that you have helped assemble will make sure that one student has three healthy meals each day of the 2-week break! Below is a suggested list of foods. These foods are not the only options but merely suggestions and examples of the types of items we would like to find in these totes. The list below represents foods that can be easily prepared by children who are home alone. It is best to avoid foods that need a lot of preparation. For example, if a second-grade student is at home alone, most parents would not want that student to have to use a can opener and the stove to eat. Food that is microwavable with an easy open lid is a much better option. Not all foods can fit into this category, so there is a little bit of a mix, but the ease of preparation is a key factor when deciding what foods to put in the totes. We try to provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack for each day of break. Please also try to find the low sodium and low sugar options as much as possible to provide the healthiest options.
